How I feel after publishing my first book.

“Can you do three?”

I have walked the writer’s road for quite some time. From my earliest days to this present moment, it feels like each and every step I have taken lead to this. Now, at long last, I can shout off my mountain top “I MADE IT!”

The feeling I have right now, is priceless. This is a dream I have chased for a long, long time. Dark Transmissions, my first novel, is published, Syndicate Pawns, my second, is slated for publication in July.

I am so proud to now put my own drop back into the deep wells of science fiction and fantasy from which I drew inspiration. A test has been passed. I have proven something incredibly important to myself. I was not mistaken in choosing my present path: I can do this.

Writing a novel can be a dark and lonely experience at times, there are trials and tests that get thrown in along the path to test your resolve and force you to improve your craft and your self. Writers are plagued with the paradox of KNOWING a story is good and worth printing yet still second guess each and every sentence we put onto paper.

And yet I could not see myself doing anything else. This is good work, this is fun work, my life is blessed, and I hope that I can properly do this blessing honour. I don’t know whether or not my works will change the world, but I would like to hope that they at least inspired someone. And failing that, well I hope that reading my book helped someone have a good day.

In any case the universe is there for you, me and all of us, and it is conspiring towards our shared success. Even now I hear the call, the next challenge. It whispers in my ear:

“Sure you wrote two books? But can you do three?”

I smile when I hear the voice. And answer back without hesitation:

“Three and much more to come.”

In love, light and laughter.

Be well.
